“Ranney’s clever, carefully plotted novel reflects the power of her storytelling. She combines an unusual backdrop with unforgettable characters to deliver an exciting, poignant and passionate romance that promises to begin a memorable series.” (Romantic Times Magazine, 4 1/2 Stars)
Such a waste of Kindle space. I've liked a lot of the Karen Ranney books I've bought, but I could barely finish this one. I despise reading a book where through the first 2/3rds of the book you're thinking, "if you'd just TELL HIM, we could go on with the story!!!!". There was gratuitous reminiscing, a letter to McIain sons that doesn't seem to relate to the story and so much misunderstanding. That is such a heavy handed, overused plot device. She marries a louse because she thinks the guy she loves is getting marr. Lady Moon said Childhood crush to lasting love. Oh to be Glynnis and have my scottish highlander. Even thought this story takes place in Glasgow Lennox and Glynnis have that highland pride and mindset. Lennox loves the sea and builds ships. He is tall, dark, and the epitome of a highlander. Glynnis is the proud, willful, and adventurous lass. Hurt and fear drive Glynnis to marry in a way to escape not having to deal with the loss she has imagined. Now seven years later she is back home and faced with her hearts desire only still not.

Years spent in Japan, Paris, and Italy, however, not only fueled her imagination but proved she wasn't that shy after all.Now a New York Times and USA Today bestseller, she prefers to keep her adventures between the covers of he
